Energy-based devices (EBDs) and injectable hyaluronic acid gels, such as VYC-12L, are each effective treatment modalities for improving skin quality.
To assess the rationale and potential benefits of adding VYC-12L to EBD treatments, and consider how they can be practically integrated into a single treatment plan.
Eight clinicians with various specialties and extensive experience of these modalities completed a written questionnaire and were individually interviewed. Their collective clinical expertise and experience form the basis of this guidance.
Using both VYC-12L and EBDs within a single treatment plan offers many potential benefits for improving skin quality-based on mechanistic synergies and complementary abilities to address different attributes and multiple anatomical layers. Careful consideration should be given to appropriate sequencing. VYC-12L and non-ablative EBDs can be used on the same day, but treatment fields must be appropriately managed and aseptic technique rigorously upheld. When administering VYC-12L, maintaining the correct injection depth is essential to positive outcomes. Practitioners should undertake appropriate training and select the injection tools that optimize control.
Multimodal treatment using VYC-12L and EBDs together can provide a more comprehensive, tailored approach to skin-quality improvement, delivering high levels of patient satisfaction.
基于能量的设备（EBDs）和可注射透明质酸凝胶，如VYC - 12L，都是改善皮肤质量的有效治疗方式。
评估在EBD治疗中添加VYC - 12L的基本原理和潜在益处，并考虑如何将它们实际整合到单一治疗方案中。
八位具有这些治疗方式不同专业背景和丰富经验的临床医生完成了一份书面问卷并接受了单独访谈。他们的集体临床专业知识和经验构成了本指南的基础。
在单一治疗方案中同时使用VYC - 12L和EBDs，基于机制协同作用以及解决不同皮肤属性和多个解剖层次的互补能力，为改善皮肤质量提供了许多潜在益处。应仔细考虑适当的顺序。VYC - 12L和非剥脱性EBDs可在同一天使用，但治疗区域必须妥善管理并严格坚持无菌技术。注射VYC - 12L时，保持正确的注射深度对取得良好效果至关重要。从业者应接受适当培训并选择能优化控制的注射工具。
联合使用VYC - 12L和EBDs进行多模式治疗可为改善皮肤质量提供更全面、个性化的方法，从而提高患者满意度。
